Two Little Ones Ascend the Mountain!

Qingyun Sect.

Heaven-Piercing Peak, Yuqing Hall.

"Puzhi..."

"Blood Devouring Pearl..."

Dao Xuan Zhenren sat at the head seat.

His brow furrowed slightly, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest.

As the Sect Leader of the Qingyun Sect.

Dao Xuan was certainly not a fool.

He was very clear about the seriousness of this matter.

If Puzhi were to die at the foot of the Qingyun Sect's mountain.

Even if the Qingyun Sect gave a reasonable explanation, Tianyin Temple would not let it go.

"Sect Leader Senior Brother."

"Do you have any leads on this matter?"

"..."

A moment later.

Tian Buyi slowly spoke, asking Dao Xuan.

Although Puzhi did not die and successfully returned to Tianyin Temple.

That demonic cult fiend dared to make a move right under the Qingyun Sect's nose.

This was a provocation to the Qingyun Sect.

If they didn't find the culprit, wouldn't that be too frustrating?

"Sigh~"

"This humble Daoist doesn't know either."

"..."

Upon hearing Tian Buyi's question.

Dao Xuan shook his head and replied somewhat helplessly.

There were simply too many demonic cult fiends.

Even though Dao Xuan was the Sect Leader of the Qingyun Sect, he couldn't guess the identity of the person in black.

"Right."

"You said earlier."

"That it was a disciple of yours who saved Puzhi."

"Junior Brother, I wonder which nephew it is, who has such capability?"

Suddenly.

Dao Xuan seemed to recall something.

He turned to look at Tian Buyi beside him, a look of curiosity on his face.

Regarding the situation at Great Bamboo Peak.

Dao Xuan was quite clear.

In Dao Xuan's impression.

Even Song Daren, who had the highest cultivation, was only at the sixth level of the Yuqing Realm.

And that person in black?

Although he attacked by surprise, he had genuinely injured Puzhi.

This meant that the cultivator in black's cultivation might have already reached the Shangqing Realm.

A disciple at the sixth level of the Yuqing Realm forcing back a cultivator in the Shangqing Realm?

Wasn't this a joke?

"Cough, cough~"

"Since Sect Leader Senior Brother has no leads."

"Then I'll return to Great Bamboo Peak first."

Tian Buyi coughed lightly and immediately changed the subject.

There were only a few years left until the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament, which was held once every sixty years.

He had planned to hide Ye Xuan and make a stunning appearance at the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament.

Exposing Ye Xuan now?

That's absolutely not allowed!

What if they get snatched away?

With that thought in mind, Tian Buyi didn't give Daoxuan a chance to speak at all.

As a red light flashed.

The Crimson Flame Sword turned into a stream of light and instantly disappeared within Yuqing Hall.

"Heh..."

"Great Bamboo Peak has produced a genius?"

Watching Tian Buyi's retreating figure.

A faint smile appeared on Daoxuan's face.

Although Tian Buyi hadn't said it, Daoxuan quickly guessed Tian Buyi's thoughts.

Regarding this, Daoxuan was happy to see it happen.

It's just...

He wondered how capable this genius truly was?

Great Bamboo Peak, Shou Jing Hall.

Ye Xuan was still chatting with Su Ru.

Ye Xuan deeply respected Mistress Su Ru.

And Su Ru?

She also really liked Ye Xuan, this young disciple.

Furthermore, Ye Xuan had been away from the mountain for over a year and had only returned to Great Bamboo Peak today.

For a time.

The two chatted merrily.

Just then.

A sound of air being broken came from outside Shou Jing Hall.

"Master! Mistress! I'm back!"

Song Daren's signature booming voice carried from afar.

Immediately after.

There was a dull thud, "thump."

It sounded like a heavy object landing.

Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow.

They're here.

The two future protagonists.

Su Ru slowly stood up and walked towards the outside of Shou Jing Hall.

Ye Xuan quickly followed, wearing an expression that enjoyed the spectacle.

In the plaza outside Shou Jing Hall.

Song Daren stood there, a simple and honest smile on his face.

Behind him stood two boys, about ten years old.

The one on the left had delicate features and a hint of arrogance in his expression.

Despite being in a new and unfamiliar place, his eyes darted around curiously, observing his surroundings without any sign of stage fright.

This was Lin Jingyu.

The one on the right had an ordinary appearance, dark skin, and clutched the hem of his clothes tightly with both hands.

He kept his head down, appearing somewhat flustered and uneasy.

This fellow was Zhang Xiaofan.

"Mistress!"

"I have not failed my mission!"

"These two are the children Master mentioned. This disciple has brought them back!"

Upon seeing Su Ru emerge.

Song Daren quickly bowed.

Not long ago.

He went down the mountain as Tian Buyi requested to find Lin Jingyu and Zhang Xiaofan.

Originally, he thought it would take some effort to persuade the two children's parents.

Unexpectedly.

As soon as he stated his intention.

The parents of the two children agreed immediately.

This made Song Daren heave a sigh of relief.

Su Ru's gaze swept over the two children.

Her eyes lit up slightly when she saw Lin Jingyu.

What a fine piece of jade!

His roots are clear and his spiritual energy is contained. Even someone who doesn't understand cultivation can see he's a good seedling.

Then she looked at Zhang Xiaofan.

The light in Su Ru's eyes dimmed a little.

Mediocre aptitude, not much different from an ordinary person.

Does this child truly possess the great fortune that Seventh Brother mentioned?

"Huh~"

"It's you?"

"Big brother, are you an immortal too?"

On the other side.

Seeing Ye Xuan behind Su Ru.

Lin Jingyu's eyes lit up, and he asked curiously.

Even Zhang Xiaofan, standing beside Lin Jingyu, looked at Ye Xuan nervously.

This morning.

When the two of them woke up in the dilapidated temple, Ye Xuan was by their side.

Seeing Ye Xuan again at this moment.

The two of them felt a lot more at ease.

"Heh~"

"Yes!"

"We meet again!"

Looking at Lin Jingyu and Zhang Xiaofan before him.

Ye Xuan's lips curved slightly, revealing a faint smile.

Although his current body was only 12 years old.

As he broke through to the Shangqing Realm.

Ye Xuan had grown to about 1.7 meters tall.

In the eyes of Lin Jingyu and Zhang Xiaofan, he was indeed a big brother.

"Whoosh~"

Suddenly.

Another red light descended rapidly.

Tian Buyi's short and stout figure soon appeared before everyone.

As soon as he landed his flying sword.

Tian Buyi's gaze fell upon the two children.

"Good, good, good!"

Tian Buyi strode up to Lin Jingyu and began to prod him.

"Excellent roots! Clear meridians!"

"Hahahaha... As expected of a good seedling for cultivation!"

Soon.

Tian Buyi threw his head back and laughed, his laughter shaking the surrounding leaves down.

Lin Jingyu was startled by the sudden appearance of the stout, big uncle and instinctively flinched back.

But this did not anger Tian Buyi; instead, it made him even more pleased.

"Quick reflexes!"

"Not bad! Truly not bad!"

After laughing, Tian Buyi turned his gaze to Zhang Xiaofan beside him.

The smile on his face instantly froze.

Even without touching him, he could tell Zhang Xiaofan was mediocre.

Instantly, Tian Buyi felt the same doubt as Su Ru.

Had Seventh tricked me?

Could such an ordinary child truly be favored by destiny?

Oh well!

Since he's already brought up the mountain,

even if this kid's aptitude is terrible, there's no sending him back down.

"Daren."

"Take them to get settled."

"Tomorrow morning, we'll proceed with the master-disciple ceremony!"

"..."
